I maintain key configuration files in a public git repo - I'd like to put my skype configuration in it too, because I find the default configuration way too noisy. The newer version has started pausing videos being played in VLC.

Besides notifications, there's a bunch of stuff I change to make it less intrusive - it's getting annoying configuring these settings on each client and keeping them in sync.

The ~/.Skype/config.xml seems to contain a lot of data that is private and can't be hosted in a public space.

What are my options

  • @Wutnaut I find needing to clone it on machines I don't trust quite often.

What I'd probably do:

  1. Write a script (using xsh or a similar tool) to extract the private parts to a different XML file.

  2. Write a script to merge the extracted parts back.

  3. Publish the pruned XML and both the scripts.

  • THanks, I ended up writing a ruby script that add the bits I need.
